Common questions
How does the game count my steps?
It reads your phone's built-in step sensor, also while the game is closed. On Android 10 and newer this needs the Physical activity permission. The game does not use GPS or your location, and it does not read Google Fit, Samsung Health or a watch.
My steps are not counting
Check that Physical activity is allowed: in the game, Settings (the gear on the start screen) > Phone permission settings > Permissions > Physical activity. Or tap Enable phone steps in the game's Settings. Some phones also stop apps in the background to save battery: allow FateWalker to run in the background in your phone's battery settings.
How do I stop step counting?
Turn off the Physical activity permission: Android Settings > Apps > FateWalker > Permissions > Physical activity > Don't allow. Steps you already earned stay in your save.
Where is my hero saved? Can I move it to a new phone?
Your hero is saved on your phone. If Android's backup to your Google account is on, Android may copy the game's data to a new phone when you switch. Cloud save is coming with FateWalker Online.
How do I delete my data?
Uninstall the game, or go to Android Settings > Apps > FateWalker > Storage > Clear storage. We hold no game data about you. See the privacy policy for details.
Does the game cost anything?
No. FateWalker is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Which phones work?
Android phones, including folding phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold. There is no iPhone version.
